Today marks the two year anniversary of my first video on YouTube, and there couldn't be a more fitting video to make than a review of the game that got me my start on this platform. And it's a pleasure to review this game now, post 1.8, because the game is in the best ever place it's been, and it's finally the game we all hoped it would be when we laid down our hard earned cash back in March of last year. The Division finally feels complete, and in this review I'd like to show you why...

I'd played two Monster Hunter games before this, and as such I went into World being pretty pessimistic about my chances of falling in love with the series all over again. Surely it was 'played out' and I'd quickly get bored of the same weapons and same Monsters and same grindy gameplay, right? I love being this wrong.

PC players- this one's for you. I know that a lot of you are hurting on the back of the Monster Hunter World PC delay, so I wanted to delve deep into the free-to-play Dauntless to let you know whether or not it's a viable alternative.

It's been a long time coming, but after 8 years Kingdom Come: Deliverance is finally here. I took my time with this review since there was a lot to take in, but I feel that after three weeks I have the measure of it.

The Division is getting a sequel. We've long suspected it, but now it's confirmed. Here's what I think. You can see my review for The Division here: ...

The recent release of Final Fantasy Royal Edition gave me the excuse I needed to play through the game for the first time. I won't lie; I was stunned by how incomplete the initial offering was. I stuck with it, though, and with time I came to understand why this game is both loved and hated by fans and newcomers alike.

I got an early copy of Far Cry 5, and I finished the whole thing. I wanted to share with you my thoughts on it ahead of the release (tomorrow), hence the format for this review being quite different to my others.

God of War (2018) is a rare moment in gaming, when it feels like all the progress of our medium can coalesce into a singular achievement. Striking out in a bold new direction while remaining true to its foundations, God of War is an absolute masterpiece and a must-experience piece of entertainment. There are no better examples of what the videogame form is capable of than this game.
